Long before Tobias Forge achieved worldwide fame with <a href=/bands/band.php?band_id=5393&bandname=Ghost>Ghost</a>, there was another Swedish hard rock band with the same name. In 1983, then 10-year-old Dan Swanö started <b>Ghost</b> with his 12-year-old friend Anders Måreby, drawing influences from <a href=/bands/band.php?band_id=449&bandname=KISS>KISS</a> and other classic rock groups of the late '70s and early '80s. It was six years prior to when Dan Swanö founded the death metal group <a href=/bands/band.php?band_id=280&bandname=Edge+Of+Sanity>Edge Of Sanity</a>. The young duo composed 60 songs between 1983 and 1988, most of them sung in Swedish but a few in English as well.
